  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When a PCOM batch file containing 52 printer session RUN     *
  * entries is launched, not all of the 52 sessions are          *
  * launching.                                                   *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  1) Launch User Preference Manager USERPM.EXE
  2) Switch to Advanced tab
  3) Set the Maximum number of emulator sessions dropdown to 52
  4) Close User Preference Manager
  5) Launch a batch file *.BCH that contains 52 session entries
  6) Less than 52 sessions are launching
  

Problem conclusion

• USERPM.EXE and PCSBAT.EXE have been changed so the Loop
  condition break is dependent on the valid session launch count
  as set in User Preference Manager utility.
  

Temporary fix
